GREEN DOMAIN ENERGY SAVING TIP OF THE WEEK!

Save ENERGY While Cooking!


Use microwave ovens, small electric pans, or toaster ovens for small meals rather than your large stove or oven. A toaster oven, for example, uses a third to half as much energy as a full-sized oven. Call Green Domain to test your combustion appliances during your Home Energy Assessment!

Energy Saving Tip of the Week: You Can Save Energy While Doing Laundry!

Did you know that about 90% of energy used for washing clothes in a conventional top-load washer is for heating the water? Simply by switching the temperature setting of your washer from hot to warm, you can reduce your energy consumption by half. Using warm or cold water is also gentler on your clothes. By washing full loads or using the appropriate water level setting when you have to do a partial load helps save water. Always purchase ENERGY STAR washer and dryers. NJ’s Clean Energy Program offers $50 rebate towards the purchase of select ENERGY STAR clothes washers.
